Plaintiff Moses Flores, a Nevada state prisoner, is appearing pro se in this action and he is

18 seeking relief pursuant to the Equal Pay Act, 29 U.S.C. § 206(d). On April 28, 2017, Plaintiff
19 filed a complaint in this action. However, Plaintiff did not file an application to proceed in
20 forma pauperis, or pay the filing fee. Plaintiff is required to either pay the filing fee or file an
21 application demonstrating that he is entitled to proceed in this action without prepayment of the
22 filing fee. Although Plaintiff refers to an application to proceed in forma pauperis that he filed in
23 another case in this court, if he seeks to proceed in forma pauperis in this action, he must file an
24 application to proceed in forma pauperis in this action.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

26

1.

proceed in forma pauperis by a prisoner;

The failure to comply with this order will result in dismissal of this action,
without prejudice.
